      MSGID: 2:222/2.0 dfa219b4       TZUTC: 0200       CHARSET: LATIN-1       Hello,              Very new to BBBS but not to running BBSes. Question about outbound Internet        e-mail. I find no reference in the manual to whether BBBS is able to       directly connect to a mail server for delivery without the use of a       smarthost? If not, are there any mail authentication options available? All       mail hosts these days allow mail relaying without some kind of        uthentication, and I don't have IP whitelisting available to me. I suppose       another option would be to run a local postfix server that has the sole       purpose of delivering email exported from BBBS? I guess I would have to put       it on a port other than 25 since BBBS is listening on that port for incoming       mail?              Also, is there anything available to capture e-mail addresses for new telnet        and/or http users and perform verification of that e-mail address in order to        validate the user? Looks like the only utility I see to do that is designed        to run with BBBS and Windows.               Thanks,       Chris              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: * BCG-Box, On The Air Since 11th February 1987! * (2:222/2)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/5 6 15/0 18/0 19/36 34/999 90/1 106/201 116/18       SEEN-BY: 116/116 120/331 123/0 25 50 140 150 170 755 128/2 135/300       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 30 40 700 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 222/2 227/114 201 400 229/426 452 1014 230/0 150 152 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/140 854 8125 300/4       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 335/364 340/400 342/13 200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 640/1321 712/848 801/161 189 2320/105 3634/0 12 15       SEEN-BY: 3634/27 50 119 5020/1042       PATH: 222/2 261/38 3634/12 154/10 221/6 1 292/854 229/426           |
